Working in St. Clair Shores
St. Clair Shores is a city of homeowners: more than eight in ten homes are owner occupied, and half were built by 1957. Neighborhoods and areas include the Nautical Mile, Lakeshore Village, Tangletown, and the Blossom Heath and Brys areas. The city drains directly to Lake St. Clair, so water deserves attention. Worth knowing: the city says the sewer line from your house to the city main is the homeowner's responsibility. Before finishing or repairing a basement, it is worth knowing the condition of that line. The city also publishes tips for preventing basement backups and explains how to file a flood claim. In a 1950s house, we look at the wiring and the sewer line before planning larger work, and homes built before 1978 may need lead-safe methods when old paint is disturbed. Whether that applies depends on your home. The Building Department handles permits and inspections, and homes that are not owner occupied must follow the city's rental registration and inspection rules.
